Biography
Mike D'Angelo was born in the United States to a family of Italian descent, and he went to work for the FBI (then known as the "Bureau of Investigation") as an undercover agent during Prohibition. D'Angelo was assigned the rough task of infiltrating the Chicago Outfit and indicting Al Capone for his various crimes, and he became a trusted bagman for the outfit. In 1931, D'Angelo arrested Capone's bagmen Eli Thompson and Nelson Van Alden, as he knew that both of them were former lawmen who became criminals after murdering federal agents (Thompson had murdered James Tolliver, while Van Alden had murdered Eric Sebso). D'Angelo asked them to steal Capone's ledgers, as it could lead to Capone serving five years in prison for tax evasion. The heist failed, and D'Angelo was forced to shoot Van Alden before he could reveal that the FBI was indicting Capone. D'Angelo, using his mob character, insulted Van Alden for being a "fed", and he avoided responsibility for the theft, as did Thompson. D'Angelo and Thompson both left, and D'Angelo gave Thompson some money to get a bus ticket out of town. Capone would be imprisoned as a result of the indictment, a major victory for the law.
